Anticipatory Bail in Matrimonial Disputes

When a matrimonial dispute escalates into a criminal complaint, especially under Section 498A IPC/ Section 85 of BNS, Domestic Violence, or other harassment-related allegations, the risk of arrest becomes real. In such situations, the most urgent and essential step is to apply for Anticipatory Bail.
